caused by a broken axle on the baggage

When the train was about leaving At

the corpse was removed from the ear head

Burgess, vigorously protested. Tie told
Baggagemaster John Eny that an ae-

the train reached Macon. sure enough
one did occur. As the baggage-car
bounced up and down on the track
when the axle broke, Jack shouted out
